Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier

Rx8man I very much apologize if I was part of your feeling your idea was rained on. I truly meant no offense, just asking new comer questions. Your custom top sounds very elegant and given it is bit of work to do it right was wondering what you noticed in terms of sound. Best wishes

Rx8man, I like your idea very much and was most interested in your post. I left the top off my preamp after tube rolling and feel it does sound a little better. I can't explain it and perhaps I am crazy, but I do like the sound better.

I may look into your fun mod.

Thanks,

Bill

No offense taken from you Gammajo, I just felt a bit "winded" on my topic (like getting old and stupid fast) !

This is the second day I woke up with major back pain that took me to my knees when I stood up.

Anyway (enough complaining) the sound to me is more "full and organic"
Of course, with your ears and system YMMV.

Anyone interested email me off-line, I'll gladly supply necessary imfo.

Hello,

Any news regarding the Preamp break in time? I am still waiting for it to arrive. I am reaching out to a few leads for the Siemens and also considering using Oyaide AC connector hoping to max out the preamp.

Also thought I should mention Joseph's Harmony Premium cord is outstanding!

Thanks

LA45,
Are you waiting for the preamp to arrive or the break-in to arrive? The preamp as received from Joseph takes about 48 hours to smooth out. It will gradually improve over the next few days. I recommend that before you start looking into tweaks for the preamp, just listen to and ejoy it for a while as is. The better you understand how it sounds in your system, the more you'll appreciate the minor tweaks available for it. I would also recommend that you tweak your room acoustics, and make sure that you have the best interconnects and power cords which will make bigger improvements for your system vs. tweaking Joseph's preamp. The tweaks which you can do to the preamp such as tube rolling and iec subs,IMHO, will be subtle compared to other things in your sound room. Have fun, though with your tweaking, but don't go crazy with it and miss out on just enjoying the music from your system.
